Answer:

I think that the central idea conveyed in the above excerpt is that the United States is willing to extend help to nations that are under communism. They are willing to extend help through financial aid and economic stability to ensure that the people under the beleaguered nations can also enjoy the freedom that citizens of the United States enjoy under a democratic government. However, the citizens of the United States must also be in agreement with the proposal of extending help to other nations.

Truman uses Logos and Pathos to persuade his audience to his way of thinking.  

Logos refers to logic. Pathos refers to an appeal to emotions.

He uses the words "I believe..." to infer how passionate he is about his proposals. He also gives logical scenarios that support his beliefs.

krek1111 [17]

The correct answer is D. Pronunciation

Explanation:

In grammar a variation refers to a change in the word by adding elements to it or omitting them, this means a word shares common features with other including a similar combination of letters and pronunciation but might differ slightly in meaning. In this way, if a word is a variation of other it usually belongs to the same word family which means they share a common origin and base. To determine whether a word is the variation of another it is necessary to consider whether these words are written or pronoun similarly and whether their meaning is connected. Considering this the word "Pronunciation" is a variation of the word "Pronounce" as both are written similarly sharing the first letters and have a similar meaning as pronounce means to say a word and pronunciation means the correct way of saying the words in a language. These common features show both words are connected and therefore one is the variation of the other.

"Editha" by William Dean Howells is a story about characters who ritualistically follow the popular beliefs and norms of society
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;

Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.

<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.

The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.

The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.

Read the excerpts from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” and “Speaking Arabic.”
erik [133]
<span>The structural element that is used in the excerpt by Anaya but not in the excerpt by Nye is D.logos. Logos is a rhetorical tool that is usually applied as appeal to logic and reason. The first excerpt sets its mood by representing events as they are, and there is a clear point of 'cause and effect': the information given by author is supported with reason. The second excerpt is a nice example of allusion irony, so it can be defined as literary anecdote.</span>
